Håkon has particularly reduced strength in his upper body and a left hand that is less functional than his right. This means he easily slumps when he gets tired, and he needs good support to stay upright and actively participate in daily activities.
With the Krabat Sheriff, a manual wheelchair with a saddle seat, Håkon achieves the best possible sitting position with the correct hip angle. This allows him to sit upright for longer periods, giving him better conditions to be present and engaged throughout the day. He gains greater freedom to move independently, without having to wait for an adult to accompany him. This increases his independence and the ability to make his own choices. The most important thing is not how fast he goes, but the feeling of freedom and being able to decide for himself.
The Krabat Jockey work chair with a saddle seat has become an important aid for Håkon, especially in kindergarten, but also at home. It gives him an ergonomic and functional sitting position for table activities and meals. With the Krabat Jockey work chair, he can get close to the table and sit more freely than in other work chairs. This allows Håkon to focus more on fine motor tasks and communication, without having to use unnecessary energy to stabilize his body.
Since Håkon received his Krabat Sheriff and Krabat Jockey with saddle seat, he has chosen these over other aids. He experiences greater freedom, mastery, and participation in everyday life.
